Again X, ported Dead.

4 dispatch from Zanzibar has been re-
ceiHsd at the foreign Office in Paris which
says: Henry NJ Stanley, the explorer,
has been massacred by natives after hav :
ing deserted by his escort"
The report of the massacre comes from
an excellent source, but it is, suspected
that the story is an echo of the statement
autographed from st. Thomas a few weeks
ago and is generally discredited in London
aud Belgium. Indeed, not half as much
oredence is given TO this report as was be
slowed on the previous one and the popu-
lar prediction is that subsequent infor ma
tion will disclose the fact that the
African explorer is alive and well.
Letters have been recei ved from the ex
plorer dated at Aruwimi June IL. Those
who know say that IL Is impossible for
news OF Stanley to have reached Ia nzibar

the general has his force at that point in
readiness to move at a very short notice,
he does not feel justified with the infor-

itiative, especially as he has no knowledge

information as to the damage they have
done is indefinite and unsatisfactory.

GRAND JURY AND POLICE.

The GLOBE reiterates the point it has
already made and condemns the report of
the grand jury touching the conduct OF the
police force. The jury has simply put it
self in the position of an old woman-it did
nothing but Scold. If the police force has
been mismanaged or the powers conferred
upon its officials abused, the jury should in
vesIigate and indict if the facts warrant, and
if they do not it should have remained dis
,reetly silent. As it was it looked to many
as though it was willing to wound and yet
afraid to strike" In other criminal cases
coming before it, the grand jury returns a
bill of indictment or it ignores the case, but
when case has been thrown out the jury
does not illuminate half column of cen
sure. From behind the rampartS of its
official position no such dlgnified body
should fire what is at best harmless fire Of
